88txiroc · 03-01-2002, 02:21 PM

Hey all. Just wanted to see if anyone in Tucson wants to get together sometime this month. Maybe on a Friday night and go out on Speedway to have fun with the ricers or just hang out. Lets get something started. Thomas

What are you doing tonight? I am driving down from Phoenix for a weekend away from the pager, and I plan on meeting Willie and BlackBird91 at SIR about 6:30. See sig for what my car looks like. See ya!

88txiroc · 03-01-2002, 03:37 PM

Cant get together tonight, got plans with the family. By the way, what is SIR?

I am new to Tucson and dont know the area really well.

cg91ta · 03-01-2002, 03:42 PM

Southwest International Raceway located on the Pima County Fairgrounds.. Here's a web link.

Been by there already just to see where it was. Some people around here call it TSP (Tucson Speed Park), thats why I was confused! Thanks for the info. How often do you come down here just to get together? Here is my email if you want it ttl52@hotmail.com

cg91ta · 03-01-2002, 04:01 PM

This will be my second trip to Tuscon in the 6 years I have lived in Arizona. Primarily this was set up as a "get-away" weekend, and BlackBird91 and I decided to get together. Add Willie in and you have tonight....

Synapsis · 03-07-2002, 05:24 PM

I think Tucson Speed Park is the circle track down the street.

I live about 5 minutes away from SIR... I love my location.

I'm not superstitious about anything.... except driving on Speedway on a Friday or Saturday night. The last 3 tickets I got were on Speedway on a Friday night, and that was just driving downtown to pick up someone. =/

Willie · 03-09-2002, 02:42 PM

I live about 5 minutes away from SIR... I love my location.

Me too. You may have seen me driving around on Rita Road.

Not only do I live at Rita Ranch, I work at the University of Arizona Science and Research Park on Rita Road (between I-10 and Old Vail Road).

Synapsis · 03-09-2002, 02:57 PM

Actually, I don't think I've seen any other thirdgen out here. Maybe I'm just not paying attention.

I work on Houghton by Civano, so we drive in opposite directions. hehe

Willie · 03-09-2002, 03:58 PM

I'm sure if you saw me you'd know. My car is "somewhat" loud (exhaust, blower, gear drive, etc).

Willie

Synapsis · 03-09-2002, 04:08 PM

Some evenings on the weekends I hear a thunderous V8 about a mile away from my house... could that be you? heh

Synapsis · 03-09-2002, 04:22 PM

I just saw the pics of your car on the website. Your interior fooking rules!

Are you an electrical engineer?

Willie · 03-09-2002, 04:39 PM

Na, that's not me. I'm not THAT loud.... But you're welcome to stop by anytime and check it out for yourself.

I'm an engineer, but not electrical. I know a fair amount about electrical but the master is my friend, Tim Burgess (Electronics board moderator). He IS an EE and he knows his stuff. He's the one who designed and built my 11-LED TPS non-linear and 21-LED linear O2 bargraphs. My current project (with lots of help from Tim) is a wide-band O2 bargraph. He's already built one for his car and he's helping me for one for my car.

I have written an article on coolant fan mods which can be found in the Tech section on this site. As hot as it gets here, it's absolutely necessary to make the mods I outline in the article.

So anyways, has anyone determined where and when we're all getting together? If not, I have a suggestion. I don't care for the restaurant idea because it's hard to get seating for everyone at the same table. How about someone's house for a BBQ??? Say starting about 1pm and going to ????

Willie

BlackBird91 · 03-09-2002, 08:36 PM

Hay every one
I live on the north west side of town ,but I live on a acre at the end of a cul-de-sac and would willing to host this BBQ.
I do need to know soon because I'll have to take leave from work.
We could make a BYO? I could supply burgers and dogs.

Do you guys know where Little Anthony's Diner is? They have car shows like twice a month on Saturdays, the next one is March 30 @ 5pm.

BlackBird91 · 03-23-2002, 03:38 AM

I might be in for that

elevario · 03-30-2002, 12:04 PM

Little anthony's is at broadway and kolb.

BlackBird91 · 03-30-2002, 10:05 PM

Dudes where was everone I was at the car show and didn't see any thirdgens in the parking lot around the show ?????????

Synapsis · 03-30-2002, 11:36 PM

I fubared my ECM this afternoon, there's my excuse.

Anyone have a spare 1227730 ECM lying around?

BlackBird91 · 03-31-2002, 01:15 AM

two weeks ago mine went south and I had to buy a new one. From the dealer it was $220 ,that sucked. On the other hand my TA runs great now.

Synapsis · 03-31-2002, 02:24 AM

I'm going to search the 2 U-Pick junkyards that are open tomorrow... I found a few in Phoenix for around $30 each out of junkyards. I'll probably pick up a couple for that price.

I wish I would stop breaking parts that I can't replace on a weekend.

ChrisFormula355 · 04-01-2002, 02:34 AM

Hey synapsis, I haven an ECM out of my girlfriends RS, does that help?

Hey guys, I'm the manager at Two Pesos mexican restuarant on University and Euclid, everybody that has a hot rod PLEASE come there and bum some food on the weekends (8-4), and we'll talk rods, I'm sooooo *** damn bored there and nobody speaks english

Look for a nasty primer black grand prix in the parking lot

Synapsis · 04-01-2002, 02:45 AM

What year/engine combo is it from? I got my ECM working but I wouldn't mind having a spare if the price is right.

ChrisFormula355 · 04-01-2002, 03:30 PM

89 RS 305 TBI auto. Its free

Synapsis · 04-01-2002, 04:08 PM

It's a different ECM than mine takes, but I can still use it for software development. Are you coming to SIR this Friday with us? I'll be there if you wanna bring it then. I drive a bright red 1990 Iroc, car #328.

ChrisFormula355 · 04-01-2002, 09:09 PM

Yes, I'll be there on Friday.

ChrisFormula355 · 04-01-2002, 09:09 PM

Oh, forgot....its a Red 89 RS with white stripes. My girlfriends car.
